LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal jury has begun deliberating in the trial of a Las Vegas police officer accused of stealing almost $165,000 in a series of casino heists. Jurors began to deliberate Thursday and will reconvene Friday morning. Josiah Rogers testified Thursday that his brother Caleb Rogers planned and carried out one of a string of robberies on and off the Las Vegas Strip. Federal prosecutors say the 35-year-old police officer for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was employed as an active-duty patrol officer at the time of the heists. Caleb Rogers has been in custody since he was arrested in February 2022.
